Tummy tucks, liposuction, buttock augmentation, and arm lifts are the most popular procedures for body contouring in Miami. The experts at Flores Plastic Surgery in Miami, Fl perform these surgeries to reverse the effects of pregnancy and massive weight loss. Contrary to popular belief, not all body contouring surgeries in Miami are performed simply for cosmetic improvement.
A tummy tuck after massive weight loss, for instance, has been shown to promote long-term weight management for two possible reasons: for many patients the new appearance can serve as a strong motivation to follow a healthy lifestyle, and removing the excess fat from the tummy could increase satiety because this fat is known to trigger appetite-inducing hormones.To learn more about body contouring in Miami, read on for the most frequently asked questions about this procedure.
1. Question: Am I a good candidate for body contouring surgery?
Answer: If you are physically fit, if you’re near your ideal weight and have sustained that weight for at least six months, and if you have realistic goals and expectations, you might be a good candidate for body contouring in Miami. Certain surgeries are best performed after pregnancy. This is particularly true for the tummy tuck and breast lift.
2. Question: Can I have multiple surgeries in one day?
A: Yes. In fact, a tummy tuck and some types of breast enhancement are typically performed simultaneously. Nonetheless, most doctors who perform elective surgeries limit them to a maximum of six hours to promote quick recovery and patient safety. If your multiple-surgeries procedure will take more than six hours, your doctor may choose to stage your surgery over multiple days.
3. Question: How long should I wait before I can return to work?
A: The type of surgery, your physical fitness and age, and the demands of your work (is it desk job or does it involve heavy lifting?) will determine how long should you wait before you return to work. But in general, a single-surgery procedure only requires 5-7 days off. “Large” procedures such as a tummy tuck or multiple surgeries, meanwhile, often entail at least three weeks off from work.
5. Question: Does body contouring in Miami provide near permanent results?
A: Yes. Liposuction, tummy tuck, arm lift, thigh lift, and buttock augmentation via fat grafting can give you near permanent results provided that you maintain a healthy weight through regular exercise and well-balanced diet.
